Damien left in such a rush, that I was a little dizzy. But the no he had given before his departure had been as definitive as ever. I’m not sure I could have argued it even if he had stayed.

Mom touched my shoulder. “I’m sorry, dear. Men can be stubborn sometimes.”

I lowered my head, feeling defeated. I had thought that my winning the tournament would have been what finally changed his mind about me, to help him see me as an asset and not a liability.

I’d been mistaken.

But if this hadn’t been the thing to convince him, then I didn’t know what would. I felt like I had lost this fight. Not just my aspiration to fight in the battle, but my place in this family itself.

If Damien couldn’t see me as his equal, could I really be his Luna?

I was never meant to just quietly sit in the background, holding my tongue while popping out babies. Never stepping a toe out of line, ever compliant with my husband’s wishes.

That wasn’t me. And if that was the kind of woman Damien wanted me to be, then…

Gods, it hurt to even think it. But maybe Damien and I… were simply not meant to be.

“I don’t know if I can do this anymore,” I said sadly, looking down. It wasn’t in my nature to give up, but after so many trials and tribulations and so much trying… “I have no idea how to fix this with him.”

Jake inched closer, moving his cane as he walked. “Amelia,” he said. “There are ways to… break… the mating bond, if that is your wish.”

I lifted my head, looking at him in surprise.

He sheepishly glanced away. “It was something I had looked into in the past, when you were bound to Damien as Annette. I hesitated then. It was never my place to make a decision like that for you. But if you want to… I can help you.”

Mom gave me a sad smile. “We will support you whatever you decide. If you want to stay or if you want to leave him, we will always be your family.”

“You will always have a home with us,” Dad added. “Even if you only need some time away. Wherever we are, you are welcome to join us.”

I looked to each of them with gratitude in my heart. “Thank you,” I said. “Truly.”

I hated the very idea of breaking my mating bond with Damien. I was repulsed, all the way down to my bones.

But.

If Damien continued to be this stubborn and pig-headed, I truly didn’t know what else I could do. I wasn’t going to live my life like this again. I was never going to be anyone’s prisoner.

“Maybe, if Damien can’t see me for who I really am, I have no choice but to break the bond and leave him.”

Amy’s POV

Our bodyguards brought us home from the school and the other guards let us into the house. We had a pretty fun day, making crafts and dancing and eating cake, but I knew the adults were up to something. I was eager to find out what it was and make sure everyone was okay.

Stacy felt the same, most likely, because she was moving just as quickly as I was toward the sounds of voices talking.

We were nearly to the door when we heard our mom.

“Maybe, if Damien can’t see me for who I really am, I have no choice but to break the bond and leave him.”

Stacy and I both instantly froze in our tracks. We looked at each other, and Stacy’s eyes were as wide as my own must have been.

Suddenly, neither of us seemed to have any desire to continue forward. Instead, as quietly as we could, we turned around and dashed the other direction. We hurried up the stairs and locked ourselves in my bedroom.

“Did you hear that?” I said, still whispering even with the door closed. What we had just heard felt so terrible, I thought I might be in a nightmare or something.

“I heard it,” Stacy said. “Mom’s going to leave Dad after all.”

We’d already been suspecting this, and though we’d tried to fix things between our parents, those broken things seemed even worse than ever now!

“What are we going to do?” I asked.

“What can we do?” Stacy said. “We’ve tried everything we can without leaving the house. There’s something weird going on. Everyone’s acting so tense and strange. And now Mom…” She paused a moment, looking around, then back to me. “I have an idea but you are going to hate it.”

I didn’t like when she said things like that. No one in the world knew me better than Stacy, not even Daddy. If she thought I would hate something, she was probably right.

But I was desperate here. We couldn’t just let our parents break up! Not after we went so long without our Mom. We’d only really just gotten her back, now we were going to lose her again?

We had to do something, even if it was something I would normally rail against.

“Okay,” I said. “What is it?”

Stacy turned to me, looking at me fully. “We run away.”

I hated that idea. “No way.”

“At least hear me out.”

I didn’t even want to. “How would that help?”

“We wouldn’t be running away for real,” Stacy said. “We’d just go somewhere and hide. They’ll be worried about us and they will have to lean on each other. If they do, they will see how much they need each other. Then, we can come back and it will be okay.”

I wasn’t as convinced as Stacy seemed to be. As she looked around the room, I could see her plotting. We could take our backpacks and flashlights and our sleeping bags too. We used to sometimes go camping with Dad, so we had a lot of the supplies in our closet.

I didn’t think we’d freeze to death or anything, and we knew the woods out back okay enough to maybe not get
